Film and Television: The Great Feng Sword Immortal, starting with Lingyue's updo hairstyle

How can you solve a problem if there isn't even a question?

The people were outraged, denouncing the Buddhist sect for its shamelessness. They lamented that they didn't have rotten eggs or vegetable leaves on hand, otherwise they would have thrown them all at them.

The ease with which the first two challenges were overcome greatly boosted the confidence of the people of Dafeng.

Countless people felt proud and honored.

Now, seeing the Buddhist sect acting so shamelessly, the common people are furious!

If it weren't for the Imperial Guards stopping them, they would have rushed up and smashed that hard-boiled egg!

"Amitabha Buddha, even the untitled is a title. Life is ever-changing, so is there always a 'title' waiting for you all?"

The peaceful voice of the Arhat Du'e resounded throughout the entire area, seemingly carrying a soothing power that caused the crowd outside to unconsciously quiet down and agree with what he said.

This is the ability of a seventh-grade Buddhist monk, at the Dharma Master level.

Not only the common people, but even the nobles in the pavilion suppressed their anger and nodded slightly.

"Shameless!"

Just then, an angry shout rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and discovered that it was a handsome scholar they didn't recognize!

He casually walked down from the shaded pavilion, came to the square, and looked at the group of monks with a cold smile.

"No wonder you monks are all bald. It turns out you've hidden the hair on your heads inside your hearts. You appear virtuous and upright on the outside, but your hearts are filled with filth and corruption. Shameful!"

Monk Jingchen frowned. "This benefactor..."

"Who are you benefactors? I, Xu, will not give you a single copper coin. It is shameful to call everyone you meet 'benefactor'!"

"You, benefactor, are a scholar, yet all you do is hurl insults. Is this what scholars of the Great Feng Dynasty are like?"

"I never curse people; the people I curse aren't even human."

Xu Xinnian was filled with anger and felt that he should stand up at this moment!

"What, you're not convinced? Several eminent monks have come from afar to propose a contest of magic. Great Feng is a land of etiquette and has not held a grudge against the previous incident of the Dharma Master's intimidation of the capital. We have already given you enough face."

"Who knew your skin was thicker than the walls of the capital? No wonder we won the Battle of Shanhai Pass twenty years ago; it was indeed largely thanks to you all. The combined forces of the northern and southern barbarians couldn't even break through your thick skin in ten years!"

"But the masters are still unaware of this. If you're unaware, looking in the mirror won't help."

Upon hearing this, the Buddhist monk Jingchen felt a surge of anger rising within him!

He suddenly stood up, his monk's robe billowing, his eyes wide with rage, like a furious Vajra, his imposing presence terrifying.

Xu Xinnian remained unfazed, scoffing, "What a master of 'emptiness of the four elements,' empty of all things! What the hell is emptiness? Bah!"

Monk Jingchen's expression suddenly froze.

Master Du'e said calmly, "Jingchen, your mind is in turmoil."

The monk Jingchen turned pale, slumped down weakly, clasped his hands together, and said in a trembling voice, "This disciple has become attached to appearances."

The Western Regions delegation came to the capital to demand an explanation, and their presence was inherently filled with anger.

After the battle, the surrounding people continued to hurl insults. Su Nan broke through two formations in a row, which put great psychological pressure on the Buddhist monks.

Xu Xinnian's sudden outburst of insults and personal attacks would have angered even Buddha, let alone his disciples.

Xu Xinnian chuckled and turned back.

The gazes of the nobles of the Great Feng Dynasty fell upon Xu Xinnian, a mixture of surprise and admiration.

Although they didn't listen to those words, they were well said, leaving the Buddhist monks speechless.

That's cool.

Moreover, they pride themselves on their status, and those words are something they would never say in front of a large audience!

This child is destined for greatness!

……

Under the Bodhi tree, Su Nan slowly raised his head, a smile appearing on his face.

He figured out the key to breaking through the third barrier.

"Master, you just said that you are an obsession that was cut off by the Bodhisattva Wenyin. What kind of obsession is it?" Su Nan asked.

"The highest realm of Buddhahood!" the old monk replied.

Without hesitation, Su Nan asked, "What is the highest state of Buddhahood?"

The old monk remained silent for a long time.

“I don’t know, but Wen Yin thinks it’s the Buddha.”

"So he cut me off, and from then on I had a pure and clear Buddha heart, free from all worldly defilement, and became a Bodhisattva who attained enlightenment."

Seeing that the old monk was falling into the trap step by step, Su Nan said:

"Why is the highest state of Buddhahood Buddha? Aren't other Buddhas also Buddhas?"

The old monk replied, "In Buddhism, there are the Arhat and Bodhisattva levels, but only the Buddha attains the highest and most supreme level."

"Therefore, the Buddha is the highest state of Buddhahood, a unique existence."

"The Buddha is the Buddha, and there is only one."

Su Nan gazed at the old monk before him and slowly smiled:

“Arhats and Bodhisattvas are not necessarily unable to attain the highest fruition.”

The old monk glanced at him and shook his head: "The benefactor (of Mano) is not a Buddhist, so it is inevitable that he does not understand the taste of the fruit."

Su Nan, however, said quite frankly, "I would like to hear the details."

"Does the benefactor know why a Bodhisattva is a Bodhisattva and an Arhat is an Arhat? The fourth rank in Buddhism is the 'ascetic monk,' and those who reach this level should make great vows."

“Great aspirations and attainments are closely related; those who make great aspirations will attain the Bodhisattva status.”

“Those who make a small vow will attain the Arhatship, which is divided into three levels: Killer of Thieves, Non-Returner, and Arahant.”

"Once a position is formed, it cannot be changed or advanced."

People in southern Jiangsu actually know quite a bit about the Buddhist system.

There are two paths to follow in Buddhism: Zen and martial arts.

Unlike the previous world, the Buddhist community in this world does not have a large number of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

There is only one Buddha in the Buddhist community of this world, and that is the Buddha.

If this were in a previous life, it would be Hinayana Buddhism!

To break through this third barrier, one must use Mahayana Buddhism to challenge Hinayana Buddhism!

Su Nan picked up the wine gourd, tilted his head back and took a big gulp, then burst into unrestrained laughter.

"Hahaha"

A burst of laughter rang out, piquing the curiosity of the crowd.

Everyone stared blankly as Su Nan burst into laughter under the Bodhi tree.

The Buddhist monks frowned, wondering why Su Nan...

"What are you laughing at, benefactor?"

Under the Bodhi tree, the old monk asked the question that had puzzled everyone.

Su Nan laughed for a while before stopping.

He sat up straight, looked at the old monk, and solemnly said, "I laugh at the narrow-mindedness of Buddhism and the hypocrisy of Buddha."

Madness!

The old monk's face showed anger, and the Bodhi tree moved swaying without wind.

Off the field, Du'e Luohan, who had remained expressionless throughout, finally frowned.

If even those who are struggling against calamities face such difficulties, one can only imagine how much more difficult it must be for Buddhist monks.

But a single sentence from Su Nan quelled the old monk's raging fury under the Bodhi tree.

“Master, you say you don’t know the highest realm of Buddhism? Well then, let me tell you.” Jun.

Chapter 98 The Emergence of Mahayana Buddhism and the Split within Buddhism

Upon hearing this, golden light burst forth from the old monk's eyes.

Su Nan, however, smiled slowly.

“I thought Buddhism was profound, and that all Arhats and Bodhisattvas were compassionate people. Now I realize that they are just selfish people.”

"It turns out that Buddhism is Hinayana Buddhism."

Theravada Buddhism?!

This is an unfamiliar word, one I've never heard before.

Amidst their anger, the monks outside the arena were also filled with curiosity.

Since there is Theravada Buddhism, is there also Mahayana Buddhism?

"Hmph, what Hinayana Buddhism? He's clearly just making things up to belittle Buddhism."

"What does a mere warrior know about Buddhism? He even presumptuously categorizes Buddhism into Mahayana and Hinayana!"

"Grandmaster Uncle, this person has deceived our Buddhist sect and cannot be let off lightly."

"..."

Monks are so hypocritical.

He was incredibly curious, but he was very stubborn.

Master Du'e remained silent, simply gazing at the painting.

Those outside the venue were even more confused when they heard the words "Mahayana Buddhism".

Many years ago, the Grand Minister of the Great Feng Dynasty launched an anti-Buddhist campaign!

Since then, Buddhism has gradually declined in the Central Plains.
